Douglas Education Center offers students the opportunity to receive an associate’s degree in special make-up effects. Here, students learn a diverse range of skills in special make-up effects, including the science behind creating camera-ready looks, sculpting and mold making, airbrushing techniques, prosthetic make-up, prop making, digital sculpting, eyes and teeth and more.
In addition, students in our special make-up effects program can also collaborate with students from George A. Romero’s filmmaking program. This allows students to learn how to work efficiently with other filmmaking roles to ensure everyone’s vision comes across on the screen.
Changing Lives EVERY DAY!
Godfather of Gore. The Sultan of Splatter. No matter the label, Tom Savini is a legend in the world of special make-up effects. His work revolutionized the horror genre. From Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th to Monkey Shines and Creepshow, Savini’s influence in the special make-up effects industry is profound.
“If you’re thinking about coming to Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program just STOP. Stop THINKING about it and just DO it. Aren’t we talking about making your dreams come true? Our students’ attitude is ‘This is school?’… because they are having so much fun every day doing what they love… and… they get a degree!” – Tom Savini
